Beer may taste good to you, depending on your taste buds, but it's not a recovery drink. I have one of those recovery drink mixes for after a hard ride - brand isn't that important to me - that has carbs and protein. And no alcohol. Alcohol is allowable only after the body has had a chance to recover; say an hour after the ride.
